Our first mix of the new year comes from a remarkable trio. It features our dear friend @r_3_n_a_t_a collaborating with @kg-aufbau, whose distinct sound quickly chases away the winter blues.

Their diverse and thoughtfully assembled mix has us eagerly anticipating spring and the upcoming festival season. We hope you feel the same excitement and enjoy their podcast.

🎶 Synkope presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 280 🎶

[German 🇩🇪 ]

Sarah und Charlie begleiten uns nun schon seit einiger Zeit. Egal ob im Club (W***I lässt grüßen) oder in Form einer Aufnahme, begeistern tun uns die Beiden immer. Daher freuen wir uns ungemein, dass es nun endlich mit einem Podcast bei uns geklappt hat. 

Musikalisch lassen es die Beiden eher ruhiger angehen, läuten aber mit all der positiven und entspannten Energie im Mix den Frühling herbei. Dazu ein wenig Bounce und dreckige Disco Nuancen. Herrlich. Musik die immer geht und jetzt bereits einen zeitlosen Charakter inne trägt.

Natürlich haben wir die beiden zu einem kleinem Interview geladen, welches wir euch unter keinen Umständen enthalten möchten.

+++ INTERVIEW +++

✔️ Was sind eure musikalischen Einflüsse? 

Unsere musikalischen Einflüsse sind breit gefächert und haben sich im Laufe der Zeit durch verschiedene Genres entwickelt. Wir begannen mit einer Vorliebe für Downtempo und basslastige Klängen. Dabei haben wir auch eine besondere Leidenschaft für Hardhouse und 'Bretter' entwickelt. UK Garage ist einfach auch ein tolles Genre, aber bisher ist es noch nicht in unseren Sets aufgetaucht. Ebenso hat uns Italo Disco mit seinem charakteristischen Sound und der nostalgischen Atmosphäre angesprochen. Doch zurzeit holen uns klebrige Breakbeats und Trance richtig ab. Unser Sound unterscheidet sich ganz klar von dem von Narciss, doch Künstler:innen wie they inspirieren uns durch deren Werke und haben einen starken Einfluss auf unsere Musik."


✔️ Was macht eurer Meinung nach her eine gute Afterhour aus? 

In unserer Meinung macht eine tolle Afterhour vor allem die Atmosphäre aus. Am liebsten genießen wir sie draußen im Sommer beim Sonnenaufgang, umgeben von den liebsten und anderen tollen Menschen. <3


✔️ Welche Gedanken magst du uns zu deinem Mix mit auf den Weg geben?

Für diesen Mix wollten wir etwas aufnehmen, das etwas ruhiger und schöner ist als unsere bisherigen Sets. Hier ist eine Auswahl von Künstlerinnen, die wir bewundern. Wir hoffen, ihr habt Freude an dem Set! <33"

🙏 Tausend Dank für diesen wundervollen Mix. 🙏

Sarah and Charlie have been with us for some time now. Whether in the club or in the form of a recording, the two of them inspire us immensely. That's why we're so pleased that we've finally got a podcast with them. 

Musically, the two of them take a quieter approach, but with all the positive and relaxed energy, some bounce and dirty disco touch in the mix, they ring in the spring. Marvellous. Music that actually always works and already has a timeless character.

Naturally, we invited the two of them for a short interview, which we don't want to withhold from you under any circumstances.

We all know this moment - you are lying in bed with a loved one and the world stands still.

You put on some music to set the scene for rising temperatures under the sheets…

The set you put on suddenly brings you out of rhythm, but getting up to skip the track is no longer an option.

We have been scouting for the perfect Sunday morning sets for quite a while already and while "Eigentlich heissen wir Klaus" & "Mattmosphere" have been steady suppliers of them for us, we also developed the idea of asking befriended artists to record one hour of music, to which they like to stay in bed with a loved one.

It's an intimate ask, but most of them said yes.

Cuddle Cast 16 comes from Berlin-based @madmoiselle_myrna, she is part of our friends at @wdlnds and has also played for our social partner @love-foundation back in 2022.

Its a beautiful dreamy journey that she created for us, so grab your special person, get cosy, press play and be ready to let the love birds fly ❤️

Happy to share the recording from our favorite Sommerfest - it was so much fun playing the closing at Paradies stage on Friday night! A huge thanks to the loveliest Aken people and all crews involved for making this magic happen, to Chris and Robin for for the invite and to our dear @francesco_rizzi for taking this 3h-ride with us <3

Looking for the right Fusiong-Soundtrack? We got something for you! Regardless of weather you’re packing your backpack or are already on the ride heading to Kuko-Headquarters this month's Traumcast Special of Zhart & Rakäthes Recording at Skalar Festival 2024 gives the perfect energy! 

With dark waves, heavy basslines and thriving melodies this set builds up like a stormy sky of thunder & lightning showing that downtempo is not dead. So don’t resist and give in to this malicious pull of rhythm. 😈

Three stormy questions to Zhart & Rakäthe:

🌪What book are you currently reading: 
(Zhart:) The choice - Dr. Edith Eger 
She tells her story of surviving Auschwitz and shares inspiring insights about resilience and the power of choice in our lives. She explores how we can be imprisoned within our own minds and shares tools to free yourself. Her path from being a victim to working as a psychotherapist is truly inspiring.

🌪How do you decide which songs to play during a performance? Is there a specific method or strategy you use?
(Rakäthe:) It of course depends on the time of the day and the occasion but I decide what resonates with me, I go for a specific feeling which can also change over time. I sometimes put the display of my laptop totally dark or close my eyes and skip through tracks without seeing any infos of a track. Shutting down my visual sense helps me to totally focus on what I’m hearing and feeling :)

🌪What hobby would you like to have or pursue? 
(Zhart:)I’d love to kitesurf. Cruising and jumping over waves by using the power of the wind seems super fun.

THANK YOU FUSION!
Nothing compares to you.
Thank you for every dance, endless moments, shared hugs, smiles & stories.
This is the Recording of my really spontanious gig at the Palapa Bar.
I was working as a stagemanager on wednesday and we decided very quickly, not to close the bar and have another two hours of dancing together in the magic of the first night. :)

Merci Kulturkosmos & Wanderzirkus!

Happy 25th Birthday, dear Fusion Festival & much Love :)

Sommer - Sonne  - Kacktus and beautiful on the beach. 
So beautiful wie (eigentlich) der Sommer ist, so beautiful war der Flow auf der Sommerparty von Gutes Kiosk und Studio Birnbaum. 
Leichtfüßig, beflügelt und luftig. 
Lasst euch paar sweete Downtempo tracks um die Ohren wehen.

Imagine you're at a great techno party and have just heard the last track when the DJ switches on the lights and a murmur spreads through the crowd: It's time for the afterhour!

Welcome to a world where the sun is not the enemy, but a silent witness to sleepless nights and unlimited dance floor adventures

The afterhour is more than just an extension of the night - it is a universe of its own full of quirky, heartfelt and often hilarious moments. It is the place where the music lives on, time stands still and the party community forges its strongest bonds - even if it is sometimes only perceived with half an open eye and a wry smile. 

Over 10 years we host our famous podcast series. Which started as an small idea of some Afterhour nerds developed over the years to something special for us ♥️

In the beginning, we focused on finding and supporting (un)known artists through blog posts, reposts and podcast contributions. Gradually, we expanded our sections to include live recordings and premieres. In-house releases and events were not long in coming. 

Join us and dive into the world of Afterhour Sounds. https://t.me/afterhour_sounds  🌈 🎵 🪩
